Love waves


http://www.abc.net.au/science/articl...e&topic=latest

A subtle and mysterious global hum has been detected by seismologists studying records from earth's most boring seismic stations.

The newfound vibration is made of two-minute to five-minute, side-to-side surface seismic waves, called Love waves.

Why is this in Skepticism and Debunking? These are called Love waves because they are named after AEH Love, the same person who developed models for solid body tides in planetary objects. The cited ABC report is a summary of an article in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

Love waves


It appears to be unexplained, which makes it appropriate for S&D.
